then you are using global variables and have to make sure that you give each frame a very unique name.

This code would definitely work:

GrimUIPartyFunc = {}
 
-- Pedestal Frame 
    GrimUIPartyFunc.Party1PedestalFrame = CreateFrame('Frame', "Party1PedestalFrame", GUI_Party1Frame)
        Party1PedestalFrame.texture = Party1PedestalFrame:CreateTexture()

But you would be accessing the Frame by its Name "Party1PedestalFrame" which would be a global reference.
The following removes the global reference and makes everything local to your code with only the GrimUIPartyFunc being upvalued

local GrimUIPartyFunc = {}
 
-- Pedestal Frame 
    GrimUIPartyFunc.Party1PedestalFrame = CreateFrame('Frame', nil, GUI_Party1Frame) --use nil as name then we don;t create that global
        GrimUIPartyFunc.Party1PedestalFrame.texture = GrimUIPartyFunc.Party1PedestalFrame:CreateTexture()

-- access the frame via our trusty GrimUIPartyFunc table
